Yes. Something about the mails look really weird n made up. For example, Kangy herself asking HR in her mails whether if this relationship is a delusion of hers? So delusional people know that they are delusional? 😕
This is not specifically about this situation, it is a general answer. Delusional people can be taught to recognize their delusions by a process of reality checking. Is there tangible evidence this is real or evidence this is not real, what do people I trust think, how do people react when I talk about this, etc.? Sometimes even with strong antipsychotic medications hallucinations and delusions cannot be entirely suppressed only dampened or they may feel better and more functional at a lower medication dose just high enough for their symptoms to be manageable. There are definitely techniques patients can learn to recognize when they are symptomatic and how to behave more normally than you might expect (you should reality check with these people, you should tell these people you are hearing voices, you should try not to talk about these things with any other people) to try to have them live as normally as possible.
